Who we are
About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About the team
Our Product Marketing team’s mission is to generate customer insights that inform Stripe’s product strategy, and lead go-to-market for our suite of products. Product Marketing is a highly cross-functional role at Stripe, partnering closely with Product and Engineering, Sales, Partnerships, Demand Generation and Campaigns to name a few. Different from many other Product Marketing teams, our team works across the entire product lifecycle, from helping shape the product, to driving launch and commercialization, to growing product adoption post-launch.
What you'll do
We're looking for an experienced copy editor to ensure all the content we publish reflects our house style and meets our quality bar for excellence. Our Copy Desk sits within the Narrative and Editorial team, and is responsible for copy editing all kinds of marketing content—blog posts, guides, reports, infographics, customer stories, emails, web pages, ads, video transcripts, and more. In addition to editing content, you'll also update and maintain our style guide and other editorial documentation, customize and refine AI writing and editing tools, and improve our operational processes to keep Copy Desk running smoothly.
Responsibilities
- Review and copy edit all kinds of marketing content to apply our style guidelines and uphold our quality bar. Ensure fidelity to our voice and tone, eliminate errors, replace jargon with plainspeak, and turn clunkiness into grace.
- Continuously amend, improve, and clarify our style guide as we encounter and solve new problems, and as our voice and standards evolve.
- Build and maintain AI tools the Copy Desk team can use in the editing process, as well as self-serve tools that marketers can use upstream from bringing content to Copy Desk for review. This requires no technical skills. You'll use our existing internal platform for this.
- Iterate on our existing operational processes for intake, queue and service level management, and quality assurance. Find ways to move faster and do more as we scale and the review volume increases.
Who you are
You're a dedicated copy editor who fully understands the power of clear, precise prose. You have a firm grasp of voice and tone and know how to adapt it across different formats—from email nurture campaigns to educational articles to social media posts. You're a stickler for proper style, grammar, and punctuation. You also bring a strategic and growth mindset to your team—you're ready to drive the programs that reinforce a culture of high-quality writing, and partner with cross-functional teams to continually revise Copy Desk processes.
Minimum requirements
- Minimum 5 years working as a copy editor across channels and experience with a breadth of content formats, in marketing or other fields
- Experience working with a diversity of teams, including those with regional considerations, with an understanding of the subtle differences required to succeed in each context
- A passion for copy editing and a deep understanding of the importance and power of well-written prose
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Journalism, Communications, English, Creative Writing, or related field
Preferred qualifications
- Experience working with creative or design teams
- Experience writing and editing technical content
- Broad understanding of the mechanics and objectives of B2B marketing teams
- Working knowledge of analytics tools (Google Analytics, Tableau, etc.) and project management tools (Asana, Jira)
Working remotely at Stripe
A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
Pay and benefits
The annual US base salary range for this role is $143,400 - $215,200. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
We look forward to hearing from you
At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
